I don't see the point of him

They already neutered the 3D segments in the Boost gameplay. A majority of it takes place in 2D plane. It's not like he has pinball physics to differentiate him from Modern. And his Spindash is OP as fuck. A quick second charge is faster than fucking boost and you can spam that shit.

I'm also not a fan of this specific design. He's too fat and too cute. Barely any attitude.

it's disappointing their new game is so similar to generations, but i guess it's better than if they tried to innovate and made a shitheap in usual sonic fashion

This. I'd prefer if modern sonic had less 2d sections now that classic sonic seems to be a mainstay in the games now.

Show me some gameplay.

>Gee whiz I sure can't wait to play as Classic Sonic in a 3D anniversary game again!!!!
Yes.

It makes even less sense when you consider that Mania exists and that true classicfags didn't like Classic in Gens either. It's fucking stupid.

Didn't they say there'd be no 2D sections in the modern levels now? Good lord I hope the modern levels have some actual fucking platforming in them.

I don't think so. What we know is
>Action-adventure game
>not a Generations sequel (it's true in Iizuka's mind)
>no multiplayer
>Eggman is the villain
>there's going to be a new character and a new "gameplay component", whether these two are related or not isn't known
Unless I'm missing something.

Yes. Mania should be enough Classic. Sonic Team are just clueless and think Classic Sonic is the only reason we liked Generations.
Iizuka should commit Iizuku

It was a disappointing trailer long before he showed up.

You guys know 2017 was probably in development before they knew Mania was a thing, right?

the american hero sonic is back

It's disappointing either way.

>He's too fat and too cute. Barely any attitude.
Sonic's actually always been that.

wrong

If they did I missed it. Platforming works great for Adventure sonic but I don't think it meshes well with boost to win gameplay in a 3d plane. If they made modern sonic purely 3d with no 2d sections, they'd have to get rid of platforming.

Not entirely wrong. They definitely played up the attitude bit more here in the West when marketing the games but in Japan he was a mixture of cool and cute.

They didn't mention anything specific about the gameplay yet.

If they have to include 2D sections for modern again, they should have it be in Rush style.

Sonic really just needs a good 2D game. Just make a game basted on the Sonic 2 HD mockup that was made 5 years back.
Divert the rest of the funds into Yakuza games and more marketing for the west.

>Sonic really just needs a good 2D game
>what is Sonic Mania?
Also, the people who were working on Sonic 2 HD are literally part of the Sonic Mania team user.

>Rush style.
People actually liked those games?

I stand corrected then. This is good news.
